me too . we all should .

there are definitely some inconsiderate , aggressive , mean , stupid drivers that share our roads .

but there are also very courteous and friendly drivers too.
i try to fall into that category .

there a nice feeling to get a little wave after letting someone get in front of you ,
or allowing the other driver to go first .

Texans are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet .

So? What could be better when you're trying to leave some twit behind than a noxious smokescreen?

James Bond style

he doesnt have an alibi .

just so you know , i was at home at that time ..i have witnesses

Joe, i love how you refer to them as " it "

i always have to look to see what kind of idiot im dealing with..

its hard to resist giving them the ole stink eye

im on the roads of houston everyday for work. i see these idiots everywhere .
now im usually a very laid back , easy going kinda guy .
but something just gets me to boiling when someone messes with me like that .
its sooo easy to loose your cool in those situations .

i think you did the right thing by trying to avoid further conflict .

its really not worth risking life or legal troubles over some knuckle head.
